Four Weekly Iron Videos You Probably Missed

The Construction Equipment YouTube channel has been busy, but if you follow our website closer than our video channel, you might have missed some great content. Some of our best recent videos actually came after our web stories. Funny, hu? We wrote the articles first, gathered the details, published the web coverage, and then circled back with a full Weekly Iron video breakdown hosted by Miles Cooksy. That means there’s a decent chance you read the story but totally missed the video. That would be a mistake.

So first — go subscribe to the Construction Equipment YouTube channel. We’re putting up machine walkarounds, tech explainers, trend breakdowns, fleet insights, and some very unique equipment profiles. As an example, below are four Weekly Iron videos worth another look as they only just showed up in older posts.

The Prinoth Panther T23r is absolutely awesome

This was one of the wildest machines I saw at Conexpo. The new Panther T23r rotating crawler carrier from Prinoth looks like somebody crossed a tank with a mining hauler and then added cool suspension and swivel dump technology. The thing carries 22.6 tons, rotates 360 degrees, and rides on a patent-packed undercarriage called the PowerForce. Miles walks through the machine’s biggest features in the Weekly Iron video, including the independent suspension system, the oblong track geometry, and the rotating dump body. The undercarriage alone deserves its own micro doc.

Kubota’s SVL110-3 is built for gnarly attachments

Big compact track loaders are having a moment. Kubota knows it. The new SVL110-3 compact track loader packs 112.7 horsepower and 45 gallons per minute of auxiliary hydraulic flow into a surprisingly compact package. That means this thing was built for serious attachment work. Cold planers. Brush cutters. Trenchers. Basically anything that likes to push hydraulic systems. The Weekly Iron video digs into Kubota’s new Auxiliary Performance System, or APS. Instead of bogging the machine down under load, APS dynamically balances power between travel and attachments. That will result in fewer stalls and fewer moments where operators start grumbling.

Teletrac Navman’s utilization report will open up some eyes 

Not every Weekly Iron episode is about new machines. Sometimes it’s about the reality of the equipment yard. This Weekly Iron episode tied to Teletrac Navman’s 2026 Equipment Utilization Report, digging into some uncomfortable truths about fleet management. The big one: Fleets think 40 to 50 percent of their equipment sits underutilized or unused half the time. Ouch. The video breaks down the report’s biggest takeaways, including idle time, disconnected data systems, maintenance disruptions, and the ancient industry tradition of equipment hoarding. You know, keeping a machine around just in case. Yeah, don't do that.  

The Top 10 trends shaping equipment in 2026

This vid ties directly into one of our biggest trend stories of the year. The Weekly Iron version takes my sprawling Top 10 Trends Shaping Construction Equipment in 2026 article and turns it into a rapid-fire visual tour through where the industry is heading. Miles covers everything from AI cameras and sensor fusion to multi-fuel engines and giant CTLs. It’s basically a snapshot of where construction equipment is evolving right now.

Some trends covered:

• Grade control becoming easier and cheaper
• AI safety cameras becoming mainstream
• Data centers driving machine demand
• Telematics evolving into jobsite control centers
• Multi-fuel engines gaining momentum
• Mini track loaders exploding in popularity

More Weekly Iron is coming

We’re building these Weekly Iron videos constantly now. Some start as videos first. Others evolve out of articles after we realize it. So again — go subscribe to the Construction Equipment YouTube channel. We're planning more walkarounds, trend videos, tech explainers, cool machines, giant machines, compact machines, and maybe a few machines that look like they belong in the next Mad Max iteration.
